Chapter One Hundred: The Sky Has Collapsed, I'll Hold It Up!

  "Old Ye! You'd better marry off your daughter! After all, it's the village chief of Wangjia Village!"

  "Yes! Old Ye, you can marry off your daughter now!"

  "Right! Old Ye, you've agreed to it, haven't you?! The other side will probably be here soon too. You also know that our Ye Village is no match for them at all! They said that if you don't marry your daughter off to them, the Wang Village will come and cause trouble for our Ye Village!"

  There were three people surrounded by the crowd, one of whom was a middle-aged man who was now looking at the crowd with anger on his face. The other two were obviously a mother and daughter, but at this time the daughter was clinging to her mother's arms, crying sadly.

  "Nonsense! My daughter is only sixteen years old, and that kid from the Wang family is already over thirty. How can my daughter marry him?" The middle-aged man shouted to the crowd in a frantic manner.

  "Your surname is Ye, don't be ignorant of the situation. Although Wang's family member is a bit older, he himself has a position in the Blue Rain City Martial Arts Hall and is a martial artist. If you offend him, your Ye family might face destruction!"

  A young man glared at a middle-aged man with a ferocious face and shouted.

  The girl clinging to her mother's womb, listening to the young man's roar, shouted at him with a crying face: "You wait, wait for my brother to come back and he will not let you go!"

  "Your brother? Haha! He's been gone for eight years, it's been so long since we last met, who knows if he's dead or alive!"

  "Exactly!"

  ......

  A middle-aged man looked at the crowd and roared in grief and indignation: "I, Ye Tong, have lived in Yejia Village for so many years. I can say that I have been very good to my fellow villagers. Now, you are forcing my family for an outsider. Where is your conscience?"

  Everyone listened to the middle-aged man's words, and their eyebrows were slightly furrowed, apparently feeling a little guilty!

  "Don't listen to him! The Wang family has spoken out, if we don't send Ye Tong from our house over, our Ye Village will be finished!"

  The young man looked at the guilty look on everyone's face and immediately shouted loudly to everyone.

  As soon as the young man mentioned the Wang family, everyone's face showed a fearful expression again. An old man walked out of the crowd and said to the middle-aged man: "Ye Tong, you also know the strength of the Wang family. For the sake of the village, let your daughter change her clothes! The people from the Wang family will be here soon. If they see this scene now, our entire Yejia Village will be unlucky!"

  "That's right!"

  "For the sake of Yejia Village!"

  "In short, once Yedong marries into your family, won't you have also climbed up the social ladder?"

  The girl listened to everyone's words and the sound of her crying in her mother's arms grew louder.

  ————————

  At this time, Ye Chen and Liu Yuer had already stood at the outermost edge of the crowd!

  Ye Chen stood there in a daze, looking at the three familiar faces, his eyes instantly becoming moist. But when he heard that they were making things difficult for his family, an unprecedented killing intent suddenly appeared on his face!

  A dragon has reverse scales; touching them will provoke its anger!

  If Ye Chenruo were a dragon, then his family would be his reverse scales!

  Liu Yuer's face changed color, she turned her head and stared blankly at Ye Chen, feeling the killing aura emanating from him. Even as a Yuan Dan realm cultivator, she felt a tremble from deep within her soul!

  "Get out of my sight! Anyone who doesn't leave will die!"

  A thunderous roar burst forth from Ye Chen's mouth, and the villagers who were originally pressing in on Ye Tong suddenly froze, hastily turning around to look at the young man behind them, their faces filled with puzzlement.

  Ye Tong and the other two looked up hastily at the sound of a familiar voice, staring at the young man standing behind everyone else, with a huge knife on his back, revealing an expression of disbelief.

  Ye Chen raised his head and looked at Ye Tong's gaze, his expression stunned, and he walked step by step towards Ye Tong and the others.

  Many villagers watched as Ye Chen walked step by step, and they all subconsciously took a step back, staring blankly at Ye Chen, whispering to each other.

  "Who is this person?"

  "I don't know!"

  "Can't be... that kid from the Ye family before?"

  "Impossible! That kid has been gone for eight years, he should have died outside long ago!"

  .....

  Ye Chen slowly walked to the front of Ye Tong and the others, looking at Ye Tong who was already old in front of him. Tears instantly flowed from his eyes, and then he heavily knelt down in front of Ye Tong, filled with sadness and indignation, saying: "Father! Chen'er is back!"

  When Ye Chen's words came out, the crowd in the entire venue was shocked and stared at Ye Chen with a look of astonishment, unable to speak. No one had expected that Ye Chen from the Ye family, who had been missing for eight years, not only hadn't died but had also returned!

  "Good morning!"

  "Good morning!"

  "Brother!"

  Ye Tong and the other two stared at Ye Chen, shouting in shock. Although it had been eight years since they last saw Ye Chen, blood was thicker than water. As soon as they heard Ye Chen's words, they knew that the young man kneeling before them was indeed the Ye Chen they had been thinking of day and night.

  "Zhen Er, you're finally back! It's been eight years, and you've been gone for eight whole years!"

  "Really! Does Chen know how we spent these eight years?"

  Ye Tong and his wife looked at Ye Chen kneeling in front of them and cried out loudly.

  Ye Chen's eyes were filled with tears as he faced the two elderly people, and he knocked his head on the ground three times in succession. "Father, Mother," he said, "your son was wrong! Your son has come back!"

  Ye Tong directly broke free from her mother's arms and rushed into Ye Chen's embrace, tightly hugging him and sobbing: "Brother! I missed you to death!"

  Ye Chen looked at Ye Tong in his arms and comfortingly stroked her head, saying softly: "Tongtong, don't cry, I'm back, aren't I?"

  "Ah!"

  Ye Tong responded with a "yes", but her crying didn't stop.

  Standing at the back, Liu Yuer looked at Ye Chen and her parents' appearance, her eyes suddenly dimmed a lot, and she secretly thought: How I also wish to have such a home! With a mother who can accompany me! But all of this is impossible for me now!

  "Isn't it also time to settle this matter first! The welcoming procession of our Wang family is almost here! Hurry up and get Ye Tong to change her clothes!"

  The young man standing beside them looked at Ye Chen and others and said endlessly, with a complacent expression, facing Ye Chen and others.

  Ye Chen listened to the young man's words, and his face was instantly shrouded in a murderous aura. He gently pushed Ye Tong out of his arms and stood up.

  No one knows a child better than their father! How could Ye Tong not know what Ye Chen is thinking at this moment? He stopped Ye Chen to protect him! He knew the Wang family's power was too great, if Ye Chen and the others were to conflict, he might be implicated as well, this son who had just returned!

  Just then, Ye Tong grabbed Ye Chen's arm and said hastily: "Chen'er, you just got back, let your father handle this matter!"

  "Yes! Chen'er, you take your sister in first, I'll deal with it here with your father!" Ye Chen's mother, Ye Xin said to Ye Chen. She was Ye Chen's mother, and naturally knew what Ye Chen was thinking at this moment.

  Ye Chen looked at his parents' anxious faces, moved to a smile, how could he not understand that Ye Tong and his wife were worried about him, and immediately said in a low voice: "Father, mother, since Chen has come back, no one will be allowed to bully our Ye family!"

  As soon as the words fell, Ye Chen slowly turned around with a murderous aura on his face, looking at the young man standing below him, and said in a tone full of killing intent: "What did you say? Say it again!"

  The young man looked at Ye Chen's appearance and sneered, saying loudly: "What's wrong with me saying it again? I said let Ye Tong go...!"

  The young man hadn't finished speaking when Ye Chen suddenly pulled out his giant knife from behind him and violently slammed it towards the young man's head, showing no mercy!

  Bang!

  A loud noise rang out, and when everyone looked at the young man again, they found that the young man who was originally standing there had disappeared, replaced by a piece of rotten flesh!

  Many villagers looked at the young man on the ground with only rotten meat left, and then slowly raised their heads to look at Ye Chen with a fierce killing intent, and immediately became restless.

  "He's been killed!"

  "He's been killed!"

  "Ye Tong's son actually killed someone!"

  "Hurry up and tell the Wang family!"

  "Run quickly!"

  "Run quickly!"

  Ye Tong was also shocked, staring at Ye Chen. He immediately grabbed Ye Chen and exclaimed: "Chen Er, take your sister and leave quickly! Go as far as you can!"

  Yexin hastily pushed Yetong into Ye Chen's arms and said urgently: "Chen'er, quickly take your sister and leave Yejia Village, the things behind, I and your father will help you resist!"

  Ye Chen looked at his parents' appearance, thinking of when he was young, no matter how much trouble he got into, every time it was his parents who helped him get through it. He remembered one time, he and another child from a different family had a fight, and he ended up hitting the other kid's head and breaking it open. Later, the other family came to their house wanting to beat up young Ye Chen, but it was his father who used his old back to shield him. After that incident, his father was bedridden for a month due to injuries.

  Ye Chen thought of past events, looking at his aged parents, tears flowed out again uncontrollably. Suddenly he hugged his parents tightly and took a deep breath to suppress the emotions in his heart, firmly saying: "The sky has fallen, I'll hold it up!"

  "No! Chen Er, you don't know the power of the Wang family! Hurry up and take your sister away!" Ye Tong hastily pushed open Ye Chen and anxiously said to him.

  "Yes!" Ye Xiang looked at Ye Chen who was reluctant to leave and cried out to him.

  Ye Chen looked at his parents' appearance, painfully shook his head and said softly: "Father, mother, you underestimate your son! Eight years of time, I didn't leave in vain!"

  "Ah! Uncle and aunt, you underestimate your son!"

  At this time, Liu Yuer also walked over from the side and stood by, feeling the warmth between Ye Chen and her parents, and said with some jealousy.

  Ye Tong and Ye Xiang, Ye Tong suddenly heard a silver bell-like female voice, and immediately turned their heads to look at the extremely beautiful Liu Yuer standing there, with a puzzled expression on her face.

  At once, Ye Tong and Ye Xin's faces lit up with joy, they abruptly turned their heads to look at Ye Chen, excitedly saying: "Chen'er, is this yours...?"

  "Sister-in-law, you're so beautiful!"

  Ye Chen hadn't finished explaining when Ye Tong's one sentence made Ye Chen and Liu Yuer simultaneously stunned, then the two of them stared blankly at Ye Tong with a natural and cute expression.

  Ye Tong and Ye Xin were taken aback for a moment, then gently patted Ye Tong and said, "What do you know!"

  However, the gaze of the two elders towards Liu Yuer changed from earlier confusion to a scrutinizing look, as if they were sizing up whether the woman in front of them was worthy of their son. Immediately after, both nodded with satisfaction.

  Ye Chen looked at his parents and knew that explaining would only make things worse, so he just shrugged and didn't say anything.

  Liu Yuer looked at Ye Chen without refuting, her face suddenly turned red, looking at Ye Chen with some resentment, not knowing what to say. However, in Liu Yuer's heart, there was a hint of joy!

  At this time, Ye Chen looked around and then frowned, asking Ye Tong: "Father, where is grandfather?"

  Upon hearing this, Ye Tong and Ye Xin's faces darkened, and they immediately revealed a sorrowful expression, looking at Ye Chen in a soft voice: "Your grandfather... he's gone!"

  "Impossible!" Ye Chen was stunned, and immediately shouted at Ye Tong with an incredulous face: "How could Grandpa leave? It's impossible! Grandpa's body has never been good, right?"

  Ye Tong slightly shook his head, glanced at Ye Tong, and sadly sighed before slowly saying to Ye Chen: "Just three days ago, he was beaten to death by the Wang family!"

  Ye Chen listened to Ye Tong's words, suddenly feeling his brain bursting like an explosion, filled with murderous intent, he said: "The Wang family! Is it the Wang family who just tried to force Tongtong to marry him?"

  Upon hearing this, Ye Tong and Ye Xin nodded slightly towards Ye Chen.

  Just then, a sound of gongs and drums came from outside the village...
